Comments Thread For: Oleksandr Usyk To Return in Mid-May In U.S. As A Heavyweight

[Andrij]

How long before Usyk gets bashed like Lomachenko and other successful white/European-boxers?



Anyways, surprised he's practically taking 6 months break in between fights. Was hoping he would be back by say, March, or April at the latest.

Have you noticed anything ? The most successful white European boxers in past 10 years are all Ukrainians ! Klitschko brothers and now Loma & Usyk.

Yes but Arum told Usyk after the Gvozdyk vs. Stevenson fight that he plans something for him in 2019. Also Rivas is unbeaten and holds the IBF & WBO International titles which would catapult Usyk straight into top position in both sanctioning bodies.

What exactly can Arum do for Usyk?

Offer a fight against one of his Heavyweights.

On DAZN? Who does he have other than Pulev?

Krassyuk said that Usyk will face either a former World Champ (Povetkin,Parker,Martin) or a current top Heavyweight.

Charles Martin is a former World Champ! Lol! Dillian Whyte vs. Usyk! MAN UP!

Its Whyte who doesn't want to fight Usyk. Whyte says that he doesn't bring much money to the table. So blame him.

Hope he can fight someone good...if not, I'd rather see him fight someone like Lebedev as his last fight at cruiser

That's a damn good fight right there but Usyk will probably end up getting Chisora somehow.

I'm asking them both to MAN UP! Usyk is the perfect opponent for Whyte, because the winner would be WBO #1, and mandatory for Joshua! If Whyte does not fight him, Usyk could just go to HW and instantly be Joshua's mandatory! Negotiating will be a little better as the mandatory!

Now we are going to see a new Usyk

I said this on day one and I am going to said this again, the best first heavyweight fight for Usyk is the rematch with Michael Hunter.
